Like I had said I assumed most of the problem was with my setup. I started with Sub and Stealth Rock and just tried out a few different moves. To use it as my mega I would have to put it on another team or remove my Charizard y. So I think for the most part I'll just look for something else to take its place. I didn't expect it to be a wall that never died but I did think he would usually take more than 1 hit before he was out of sub range or died.
Oh on a side note until I looked at fully ev trained stats on showdown I didn't realize that both blissey and chansey has such a low physical defesne.
Just as a heads up to your last point, 252hp 252 def bold evolite chansey can tank physical hits like no ****ing other. In Gen V UU, there was some ridiculous stats (I believe LO Adamant Mamoswine Earthquake was only 20% chance to 2HKO, while it could actually LIVE a Heracross close combat, if not banded.
If I feel less lazy, I'll see if I can dredge those calcs from smogon....
As far as Aggron goes, there is almost o reason to use a non-mega version in OU. He is just too outclassed, with weaknesses to some of the more common attack types. Even on the physical side, the 4x fighting/ground weakness undermine his incredible bulk.
So, just beat the Elite 4 and added everyone in the friend code list on page 1 for great safari justice. The list hasn't been updated in like a month, so I'll drop my code here: 0146-9645-8893.
If someone could tell me what's in it, that would be great.

Ah don't worry about the calcs my statement was just based on when I saw the base stats on showdown's team builder.
Yeah I was less than impressed with Aggron I may try him as a mega sometime but the team lists I'm currently working on all already have a mega. I ended up replacing it with Skarmory. Though I've only tested it out in about 4 or 5 battle spot matches I like it a LOT more and it's been far more useful. It managed to hold its own against a Genesect, but I'm not sure how it was ev trained or anything. The move set was kinda odd (at least I think it was) it ran Blaze Kick, Extreme Speed, Bug Buzz and Techno Blast. The last two didn't surprise me but I didn't think Genesect got Blaze kick or extreme speed.

The last two moves suprised me. I knew it has blaze kick/e speed. That must be an event one. Usually they will be 252 spe and 252 spatck or in this case atk. But that move pools seems awkward. From what ive seen for physical attackers they still carry ice beam and u-turn.
The one i currently use is like this
252 spe 252 spatk 252 hp
hasty
choice scarf
ice beam
u turn
flamethrower
thunderbolt/extreme speed.

What I meant by they didn't surprise me was I was fairly sure that Genesect learned Bug Buzz by level up, and that Techno Blast was it's signature move. I didn't think that it could learn Blaze kick or e speed. I've only played against the one but every other one I've seen on youtube and twitch ran basically what you said. I had just never seen extreme speed. Until this generation I had never seen it since I had quit playing back during DPP and even then didn't play online.

It doesn't normally learn extremespeed. A little while ago they had a movie about a genesect that knew extremespeed and gave away a bunch of genesects with extremespeed to the people who went to see it.

This seems like as good a place as any to ask this.
One of my close friends really wants a Meloetta. She gave me a list of her favorite pokemon and that's the only one I doubt I can get. Anyone here have one for trade? Good IVs/Nature would be cool but not required.
I don't have a lot I can offer as of yet, but if you'll tell me what you want for it I can see what I can do.

Rest in RIP My Signature, I guess. 2015-2016, we hardly knew ye.
Total side note but I like how people are discussing running this over itself.
Well, it has to be said that Kolaghan is clearly better than Kolaghan. Considering what BR decks usually want and how stiff the competition in this guild is, there is no way that I would run Kolaghan over Kolaghan! Kolaghan might make it in as the sixth guild card or so. Kolaghan on the other hand ranks several places below that.
It was so funny to me when they described this as a downgrade to the original Zurgo during the Pax East panel. I was thinking if this is a downgrade, they should really "downgrade" all legendary creatures. Haha.
My deck designing is quite concise at this point:
1. Come up with deck idea
2. Realize this idea is somehow fundamentally similar to another deck I have or that is commonly played in my group
3. Decide I don't want to disassemble one of my existing decks
4. Give up and do nothing
I don't see the point of this new shroud mechanic. It's strictly worse than Hexproof. Threshold is pretty bad too, Delirium is a much better mechanic and probably easier to activate.
Otherwise this card is a pretty neat guy. Dodges removal and grows into a Primal Huntbeast. 3/5

Oh really, that's cool. I didn't think they did stuff like that outside of Japan, or theres a way I don't know to have the name converted to its English equivalent. Because he had an English named one. All the event pokemon I've heard of released in the US have been either mystery gifts or from Gamestop, toys r us and the like giveaways.

Are you sure it wasn't Japanese? I'm pretty sure they didn't do the event in America. Maybe European, or the Japanese games have access to English letters and the guy was just messing with you.

I'd have to go back and check the saved video but I'm almost certain that the name showed up in English.
Edit: On a side note why does everyone else always seem to get more wifi events than we do?
Yet you probably still had to trade an arm and a leg for it too. Everyrime I look at it anymore its always something stupid like magikarp for arceus.
Nono, Wonder Trade, not the Global Trade Station. I'm a WT addict. You get some really nice stuff off of there if you can stand to wade through the sea of elemental monkies, weedles, froakies and honedges.

Oh my bad I missread that lol. I love wonder trade too before I decided to catch dittos of all the natures I was gonna use (to make breeding a little quicker) I used to and still do put all the extra stuff I end up with on there. The last batch I sent out were some extra bunearys I ended up with and some scraggys with dragon dance and either ice punch or drain punch. I sometimes feel bad about sending stuff like that out unless they have egg moves. I seem to get either a flabebe, or eevee every time. I did get a charmander that had some good egg moves for a charizard x too bad I don't have that stone.
Ah yes, I've probably gotten more Eevees than anything. I think right now, I have 4-5 boxes full of Pokemon I got from WT that have: 4-5 IVs, have egg moves, are from the Pokebank, or all of the above. Earlier I got a level 97 Charizard holding Leftovers. Actually kind of feel bad about that because I'm afraid someone accidentally Wonder Traded their Charizard.
I admit I kind of wish I could get some hacked event legends to complete the Nat dex...(I guess they count towards it?)

Wow I feel for the guy who traded that charizard. I would love to get lucky and get a Genesect from a wondertrade. I know it wont happen unless someone dupes a bunch and for some reason wondertrades them. I guess they would count towards the dex. I know I've seen some people say event legends don't count towards what you need for the shiny charm.

I really hope they don't. That would be seriously unfair. It's already going to be hard enough finding someone to borrow all of the other non-event legendaries from.
Really at this point, I'm just waiting (hoping) for an announcement from Nintendo about something new for X/Y (download content, legend giveaway...)

I can't guarentee how accurate that is because i just know that I saw several people in a facebook group say that. Me too. I hope they at least announce something soon about any of that stuff.
Also, does anyone have an Scatterbugs for trade? I'm looking for ones from different regions...so far I have the Modern, Elegant (Japanese) and Polar patterns. Don't care about IVs or moves, not looking to trade legendaries/good Pokemon for them.
